The frost fair of 1814 began on 1 February, and lasted four
days. A printer named George Davis published a 124-page
book, "Frostiana; or a History of the River Thames in a Frozen
State". The entire book was type-set and printed in Davis's
printing stall, which had been set up on the frozen Thames.
The book is a written history of London's frost fairs,
interspersed with humorous, cold-related sections including
"How to Make Ice Cream" and "The Art of Ice Skating". -
